Another prominent LGBT group wants to wait on gay marriage vote until 2012

Seems to be a bit of momentum gathering among California’s same sex marriage supporters to wait until 2012 on going back to the ballot to overturn Proposition 8. The other day we told you that a trio of LGBT coalitions of color suggested holding off until 2012. Now, they’ve got some company.

The Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club — the nation’s oldest LGBT Demo club — thinks 2012 would be better, too. After hearing a presentation from San Francisco pollster Amy Simon this week, the club’s board decided — after much debate — that there might not be enough time to right the wrongs of the last campaign.

“We believe that our ability to do the groundwork critical to success, and not our outrage over the passage of Prop. 8, should drive the decision,” say the ABTers.

Going for it in 2010, “would require a rush that could possibly cause our community to take shortcuts, miss important messages and fail to make critical connections. If we set the vote for 2010, we essentially need to net 1,000 voters per day, a theoretically achievable but extraordinarily ambitious goal.”

“In the end, we simply believe that 2012 offers the better strategic opportunity to pass a repeal of Prop 8.”

However, Toklas Club co-chair Charles Sheehan told us that if a consensus of same sex marriage supporters wants to go for it in 2010, however, the organization “will be on the front lines.”

Next week, same sex marriage supporters are gathering in San Bernadino to take their collective pulse about what their next step should be. Don’t expect to see a consensus on 2010 v. 2012, but you should see some serious telltale signs.
